Survival research lab...wooow just, wooow. The war machines they make just to destroy...it was pretty intense and violent. Watching back when there was less crowd control looked dangerous. the crowds seemed waay too close, like what if something went wrong...I'm sure people have died watching this or participating. But it's really cool all the machines they make and have, and how inventive they are like with this godzilla monster thing missle shit. and how they make props to blow up. They're so lucky they can do this and have the tools and space to do it. It's also amazing how anyone can parttake in making stuff of course provided with either training or experience, plus help from fellow members and just an overall interest and desire to create and destroy. It was cool to see people don't have to be engineers just to make weapons. it's also amazing how long the group lasted i'm not sure if they're still running but it would be pretty cool if they still do. Never mind i just checked they're still running.
I felt some shows had a little bit of poltics thrown into them because I feel like I remember effigee- esque things or posters being destroyed. I always love seeing the grungy violence of the 80s to 90s war-machines versus the more creative technology stuff of today.
Stelarc has become quite the name recently in my classes with his odd integration of human and machine and ears. It's really interesting to see how he created these robotic body parts that work with human limbs, more advanced than that of prosthetic. I know the prosthetic ears don't but i guess it's more a visual thing. I believe Ken Feingold created this device or apparatus where something would push buttons or make noises and according to those actions his limbs would move but he was not in control. basically he turned himself into a puppet using technology which is really cool. it's strange seeing American's so fascinated because we're usually terrified and Japan tends to love this stuff.
